RESILIEN'I' SUPPORT OR BASE FOB CHAIRS, FAUTEUILS, BENGHE S, TYPEWBITIhTG MACHINES, AND-THE LIKE. Application filed July 31 1925, Serial No,

This invention relates to improvements in resilient supports or bases for chairs, fauteuils, benches, the feet of typewritin machines, and the like, by which a non-yie ding or not sufiiciently resilient chair for instance can be transformed, in a most simple manner, into a soft and comfortable seat.

The arrangement according to the present invention possesses the great advantage, that it can be quickly and easily attached to or detached from the leg of a chair or the like quite independent of the shape 01 cross-sectional area of the leg,

One mode of carrying out vention is shown, byway of example, in part-sectional elevation on the accompanying drawing. p

,The support or baseconsists of two hollow cylindrical members 1 and 2, each'partially closed at one end' and slidably mounted In the illustrated embodiment the saidhnembers are prevented from becoming disconnected byturning-in of the member 1 and flaringout the open 7 nd of the other member.

A compres ion spring 3 isenclosed in the casing forme by the two members 1 and 2, and the ends of thisspring bear agains'tthe ends of said members.

the tendency-to retain the two members 1n 4 for the passage ot a screw, in order to fix the support to he leg ofa chair ing the screw ,be possible for the the present in- 'upper end of said Thus the spring has- 47,235, and in A ustriajebruary 12, 19:85.. i

or the like. The end of the member 2 is furnished with an opening 5 for introducabove mentioned and for ap-- plying a screw-driver to the latter; The rims encircling the saidv openings are turned inward to form a good, seat for the endsof thespring? .v 7 By a construction of this character it will memberli not only to have a vertical movement relative to the member 2,- b.ut also a slight lateral movement or rocking action with respect thereto. I claim:;- A resilient support of the class described, including upper andlower hollow members having adjacent open ends telescoping one within the other, the inner end being out turned and the outer end being abut-said outturned end to prevent detachment of one member from the other, the r mtimberhaving a '1 P? closed end provided with an opem-ng'for the reception of a fastening'means for attaching the, support to a chair leg or the like and. the lower closed end of said lower member also. having an opening through which said fastening means may first named opening, and a spring interposed between the closed ends of said upper and lower membersand permitting vertical and lateral movements of'the upper member relative to the lower member.
